"I think you're just...skinny"

from JoeUser Forums
That's the official word from my doctor.

A couple of weeks ago when I took Elana to have her 6 month checkup and innoculations (at 8 months) my doctor remarked how thin I was and that if I lost any more weight I should come in and get my thyroid checked.
When I couldn't fit into my jeans the other day - it was so bad that I went shopping in one pair of jeans bought a new pair and wore them around the store then home - I had to go into 5 different stores looking for the right fit - finally settling on a size 7 from Jeanswest $65 which is much more expensive then my last pair of jeans ($30 size 8 from Best & Less)

ANYWAY - this isn't about clothes -- I decided I should get a checkup -- they took some blood and did some other tests and Mary (my doctor) told me to call on Monday night between 7pm & Midnight when she was on to get the results.
So after Idol I did - I had been quietly freaking out a little bit since before I even went to the doctor.

But Mary said my tests came back fine - Liver, Thyroid, Iron, Glucose, Kidney, Blood Count -- everything was fine so "I think you're just...skinny"

You might just have fast metabolism...my other half is incredibly skinny, yet eats more than I do

I didn't lose any weight from any of my kids until after they were 9 - 10 months old....then it came off so quickly that people started commenting about it, asking me if I was eating properly and if I was feeling alright. I think that's probably what's going on with you.  It's hormonal...you body's just getting back to normal after having that hormone flood from being pregnant.

I'm glad you're ok hunny. It's good its nothing to serious. Was the increase in price just because they were a size smaller? Or was it just a more expensive brand?

Mack - thanks - you could be right

Karen - I'm 5-7kg lighter then I was before I got pregnant, 10-12kg lighter then I was during my heaviest part of pregnancy and about 3kg under my ideal height/age/weight thingie.
But since theres nothing physically wrong with me - I blame it on the walks to indro and back and chasing Elana around the house.

Did I tell you about that? - remind me to tell you about that

SJ - It was both darling

I had to go a smaller size and the expensive places are the only places that go those sizes - their size 10 is a best & less/target size 8 -- and I'm a 6/7/8 depending on the shop and the make -- *sigh*
the cool thing was I actually got a 2 for one - one pair was $65 but two were $109 -- and I couldn't decide -- since jeans are the only thing I ever wear and my other 4 pairs are 4 different sizes of two big (12 (target) 10 (jay-jaya) 8 (best & less) 8 (billabong)- I bought 2 for $109 a 7 & 8 because they didn't have a 7 in the colour I liked. (jeanswest).
